The match on Tuesday is in Morocco and comes before the Raja Casablanca and Atletico Mineiro match on Wednesday and Bayern Munich comes in after getting a bye into the semifinals and this match should end up with them winning, but it could be a tough day for the German champs and they currently are the favorites to win the Cup and it would be a nice addition for the club into the trophy case.
European champions Bayern Munich will play in the 2014 Major League Soccer (MLS) All-Star Game as part of their pre-season North American tour, the U.S. league said on Thursday. The exhibition match will be on August 6 in Portland, Oregon, at the home of the Portland Timbers, MLS said in a statement. Bayern won their fifth European title, and first in 12 years, in May by beating fellow German side Borussia Dortmund 2-1 in the Champions League final at London's Wembley Stadium.
They also won a domestic league and cup double to become the first German club to claim the treble. They currently have a four-point lead at the top of the Bundesliga and have reached the Champions League last 16. In the 2013 MLS All-Star Game, Italy's Serie A club AS Roma cruised to a 3-1 victory in Kansas City. (Reuters)
